"I'm not a huge videophile, and don't know much about Yamaha (or mass-market mid-fi) but it seems the Oppos get all the press for less $$ and the Denons are the choice at this price and above. I can say the 2ch sound through a highly resolving system on CD, SACD and DVD-A is VERY good, distressingly close to my $5K CD rig, and noticeably better than the similar DVD-S1700 it replaced, mainly for this reason.

"In addition to what other people have written about this player, I would like to point out that it does not have frame-by-frame advance and if you are viewing a movie in slow motion (to find that perfect spot) there is no way to pause it at a certain point. Once you press "play/pause" the movie will begin playing at normal speed so you have to be very quick to press it again to freeze the scene. This may be ..." Read Full Review »

"I just bought a Toshiba 55" Hi def lcd TV and I needed a new 'upconverting' DVD player to go with it. As I also have some SACD's I was wanting a player that would play everything. WOW, DVD's although not quite Bluray are absolutely fantastic. Listening to Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' on S …"  Read Full Review »

"I spent a lot of time researching the difference between this model and the earlier S1700 which was less expensive. I decided on the S1800 due to the inclusion of Burr-Brown DAC (the S1700 did not specify the brand) and the fact that Yamaha chose to release this unit (nearly identical to the S1700) …"  Read Full Review »

"Have over $2500 dollar cd transport/dac setup. Added this for SACD & DVD/DVD-A sound capability. On SACD & DVD-A it beats the expensive cd setup! Highs are much smoother and more detailed than cd. The higher resolution formats are incredible. Have bought more music in the last month than last year. …"  Read Full Review »

"This Yamaha costs a little bit more than some other DVD players, but the picture is well worth the price. Up-converting a 480 line interlaced DVD signal to High Definition formats involves some complex digital signal processing. The chip set used to do this and the skill with which the software is …"  Read Full Review »
